Provisioning Container VMs in the Management Portal

You can provision container VMs from the management portal. You can quick-provision containers by using default settings or you can customize your deployment by using the available settings. You can either provision or save as a template your configured container.

You can provision containers, templates, or images.

  • To provision a single container, go to Home > Containers and click + Container.
  • To provision an image with additional settings, go to Home > Templates and import a new template from file that you can later provision.

When you create containers from the Containers page in the management portal, you can configure the following settings:

  • Basic configuration
    • Image to be used
    • Name of the container
    • Custom commands
    • Links
  • Network configuration
    • Port bindings and ports publishing
    • Hostname
    • Network mode
  • Storage configuration
    • Select volumes
    • Configure a working directory
  • Policy configuration
    • Define clusters
    • Resource allocation
    • Anti-affinity rules
  • Custom environment variables
  • Health checks
    • HTTP
    • TCP connection
    • Command
  • Logging

When you configure a container, on the Environment tab, you can add industry standard variables. For information about using Docker environment variables, see Environment variables in Compose in the Docker documentation.
